Designed by Valerie Schweitzer Architects, stucco and wood walls along with cleverly placed glass sections imitate the form of a butterfly’s closed wings to create this exquisite and private office in the garden. It is more of an art studio than a modern office with the glass roof supported by a metallic structure ushering in much more than just natural light. Colors change throughout the day as the sun changes its position and at night, the star-studded sky is your companion. Connecting with nature without sacrificing privacy or compromising on acoustics, this majestic art studio is one of a kind.
